this is nothing more than a $$$$ handout to keep gangs from crime by giving them $$$$ to spend

He talks about early intervention being a pound of cure he needs about 80 lbs of cure. He doesn't believe in early intervention at all when it comes to his health. Thanks Greg.

Those "diversion programs" will be 100% comprised of basketball workshops. They'll hire some retired NBA player make a couple appearances at the events. Also calling firearms a "public health" emergency is just another method toward more regulation. Fatherlessness should be considered a public health concern, not firearms.

Dem solution - throw money at a problem.

Thank you Governor for spending your own money on all your plans. The taxpayers appreciate it.
